HOME @Arlington 2017

Arlington’s Public Art Master Plan (PAMP) is getting an update! Adopted in 2004, it outlines a strategy for how public art will improve the quality of Arlington’s public spaces and facilities. We invite you to help inform the update by participating in a fun book art project, HOME @Arlington 2017, a community art project by Sushmita Mazumdar.

Events: Join the artist and make your own HOME @Arlington book at events throughout the County between June and October 2017, including farmers markets, the County Fair, Latin American Festival, and more. Inspired by her most popular bookmaking workshop the House Book, HOME is basically a survey about public art in Arlington that you answer. Except, you also get to make your own home and what public art you would like to see in your community, so it becomes a creative community activity!

Installation: See the community-made art on display in the lobby of Courthouse Plaza (2100 Clarendon Boulevard) from July 24, 2017. As books are added after each event, colorful city blocks will begin to form on the panels that make up the installation. Once you have participated take friends and family to go see your HOME book on display with those of others in your community! There will be a DIY station there as well so if you missed the events you can make your book right there and leave it for the artist. The artwork stays on view till Oct 28.
